Your guide to taking good wedding photos - Local wedding photographers

With wedding season in full swing, it can become flat out difficult to stay up on blogs and sharing our recent weddings with everyone. While we continue to go through edits and share our most recent beach engagements and local weddings, we thought we would share our guide to taking wedding photos as a couple.

Being that we are local wedding photographers in San Diego we have been privileged to shoot at so many beautiful San Diego beach weddings and have worked with some amazing wedding coordinators at tons of different venues. Even though these locations are amazing for photos, if the couple is not into the photo sessions, it makes it extremely difficult for photographers to produce our best work.

Be yourself! Its your wedding day, and you are marrying your partner for life! That is something to be excited about, go about the day feeling that way and expressing how grateful that feeling is. Our style is very organic and natural, we will look to place you in the most ideal setting but don’t want the photos to come off as posed or inorganic. We love when brides and grooms laugh and smile. If you feel like picking her up and swinging her, go for it! If you feel like kissing because you just got married, go for it! What we are trying to say is, we are there to capture the real true moments. Our creativity will come into play as we see your authentic reactions to one another.

If you are searching for a local San Diego wedding photographer or even Temecula wedding photographer, we would love to connect, and bounce ideas off one another. We love being able to capture different settings throughout Southern California and the beaches here in San Diego make for the perfect location whether you are a local or planning a destination wedding. The same goes for the wineries in Temecula, it seems that the word has definitely gotten out that Temecula has amazing wedding venues and many tourists are making this their preferred choice for their wedding.

If you are looking for advice on where to have your wedding, or which location is right for you we would lovvvvveeee to recommend some of our favorite locations. As mentioned we have worked with may industry professionals and have an insight on some of the most beautiful venues, and low-key spaces. We have included a link to our favorite San Diego wedding venues here as and our favorite Temecula wedding venues here. As we mentioned, we are one of the vendors that you will be spending the entire day with and it is so important to have good vibes and positive energy. Being happy throughout the course of your wedding day should be able to go without being said, but sometimes that is not the case. If you are upbeat, happy and want to have a great time and have us capture life long memories then lets grab dinner, discuss ideas and make it happen!
